I have pretty much decided to just take my remaining electives as Straighterline courses that have open book finals. I know it might look a bit weird to have US History II only, but I also have half of the Social Sciences and History CLEP in my electives, and I think that could count as US History I since that is the lion's share of the history on that exam.
I just finished Organizational Behavior (which I started yesterday) and barely got a B-. I'm quite pleased with that considering the amount of effort I put in. I am wondering if getting lower grades on closed book finals would have a significant impact on my GPA. I'm guessing not since of the courses I'm considering, only two currently have closed-book finals, and I would only actually take one of them. However, I might just go the safe route and make sure all my remaining courses have open book finals. Also, all of these courses will be complete by a week from this Monday (January 20th) because I don't want any of them to go closed-book on me while I'm getting them done. Just FYI.
I was going to do FEMAs for my electives, but the thought of that bored me to tears--and also the difficulties others were having with having to redo the course finals two and three times. If I was going to go that route I'd never make it in time because I'd have 19 of them to get done by the end of this month (so I can hopefully start my Capstone next month). I don't have time to redo anything. It's do or die if you know what I mean.
